Description
We present exploratory analyses of the 3D gluon content of the proton via a study of polarized gluon TMDs at leading-twist, calculated in a spectator model for the parent nucleon. Our approach encodes a flexible parameterization for the spectator-mass density, suited to describe both moderate- and small-x effects. Particular attention will be paid phenomenological applications to angular modulations and spin asymmetries, such as the Boer-Mulders and the Sivers effects. These studies relevant in the investigation of gluon dynamics inside nucleons and nuclei, which represents a major goal of new-generation colliding machines.
